genetically different, historically different in the south was always a centralized feudal kingdom while the north/centre had smaller city states, duchies and principates, different culture and environment too to an extent
Btw i prefer the definition where from emilia upwards it's north, tuscany lazio marche and umbria are centre, lazio downward is south and sardinia is its own thing, cause sardinians sure as hell are not southerners
my great-grandfather born in northern Italy used to march with the local hotheads in the Klan to run the terrone shitskins out of our white neighborhoods. We are not the same.
>centralized
It was unified. It was a single country.
It was NOT always centralized however, most of the middle ages andearly modern period was spent in a constant swing back and forth between baronial supremacy (countryside feudal lords ruling over their fiefs like petty kings) and court supremacy (king & judges/officials/bureaucrats enforcing centralized control).

The North made significant contributions in art and science until a few centuries ago.
The South has the mafia and maggot cheese and poverty.
